Quotes:

"Part of what we do with our clients is discuss exit strategy. We consciously keep them accountable to say: When does such a choice become a reality?" - Ruan

"I like shifting that to just having choices, knowing that you may not want to sell, it might not be something that's at the front of your mind at this stage, but maybe it's just about having choices in your business." - Marissa

"And from there I built the Family Plan vs Business Plan, because I came to realise what things should be non-negotiable for my family and what can I then build around it." - Ruan

"It's just really understanding what it is you want, what are your strengths and weaknesses and what is it going to give you, or help you to achieve your goals and objectives long-term." - Marissa

"Action dictates priority. As soon as I knew I wanted to sell, it was the actions that were more important to me than the priority of getting there." - Ruan
